awwwww LOLA!!! love this version by The Raincoats even more than the original -- thank you, Julie!!! -- you brought back wonderful memories/visions of them doing an amazing live version of this many many years ago -- at NYC's TR3, i think)

I still have to figure out how to fix the back passenger door on my mom's car. Would probably help if the dealership didn't send the window motor back to the company.

And they got rid of the 5 point cups too, so now it's harder to write down the codes, bah.

Name pronunciation was totally fine, you're now qualified for the Scandinavian reserves.

Matt from Springfield:
Yeah, I think Irwin's had the Raincoats on, once upon a life ago.

Matt from Springfield:
Yay Nick! I actually set my alarm to catch that show, but missed it! So I had to catch the Archive.

Thu. 6/21/12 5:00am
Matt from Springfield:
Oh, playing *other* Nanase Hikaru tracks! And in the body of the show! Seems like a rare treat, even though I'm sure this is probably readily available!

Thu. 6/21/12 5:01am
Julie:
none of this stuff is readily available I can't even get a "real" copy of the soundtrack

Thu. 6/21/12 5:02am
Matt from Springfield:
Incidentally, I give a plus rating to the bed music. Victorialand! That's a fitting bed music for you, or anyone at this hour. Maybe for after the "middle" set, before it gets too light out.

Thu. 6/21/12 5:03am
Julie:
I figured it's a good lead in for a softer set, like this one

Thu. 6/21/12 5:03am
Matt from Springfield:
Then thank you, this stuff is rare! I saw a Wiki page for Angel Sanctuary, with a track listing and all, I presumed they had a soundtrack CD out. Perhaps a limited edition Japan-only release or something.

Lynn Lockjaw:
*head tilt* The Cake ... I think this is new to me. Nice.

Thu. 6/21/12 5:07am
Julie:
Lynn we have a regular commenter who is obsessed with that band. They did some soulful covers but their originals, like that one, are really lovely.

Thu. 6/21/12 5:09am
Lynn Lockjaw:
Lovely indeed, Julie. Going to Need to do some looking, see what I can find :)

Matt from Springfield:
Was off making coffee...that sounded like something from Garlands, but that wasn't "Grail Overfloweth". I have that one, and it starts out with a vocal that says "Grail over-flow-eth..." Check the track number maybe?

Thu. 6/21/12 5:20am
Matt from Springfield:
Thanks, Treasure is good.
Very good set in fact, Hindsight B-side from The Church, like "Trance Ending"! And before that Donovan--you've played from Open Road before, I'm not familiar with that one but love what I'm hearing from it.

"In 1902 the first modern electrical air conditioning was invented by Willis Carrier in Syracuse, New York." Still going strong today! They make reliable models. Predecessors in the research behind AC includes Ben Franklin, who did an experiment in 1758 with John Hadley.

"From this experiment, one may see the possibility of freezing a man to death on a warm summer's day".

Thu. 6/21/12 5:31am
Julie:
the possibility? did they give some guy frostbite?

Tranquil Doors cover, now I can tell it was orig Doors, but this is so 80s dreamy I didn't notice at first!

Surreal in that I have spent the past four hours drinking with Mogwai and Irvine Welsh (yes...the author of "Trainspotting"; apparently he lives in Chicago now).

Thu. 6/21/12 5:39am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):
But I promise to listen to the archived show so I can catch up on what I missed. :)

Thu. 6/21/12 5:39am
Matt from Springfield:
Pilori, this is good. Learning a new song by a familiar band.
BGZ, welcome and listen!

Thu. 6/21/12 5:42am
Matt from Springfield:
I think the album name "Christ Versus Warhol 1982-1983" explains the feel of this song exactly! :)

Thu. 6/21/12 5:43am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):
@Matt from Springfield: Yes...that Mogwai. The final show of their tour was this evening in Chicago. I'm not sure how Irvine Welsh ended up with us. But there he was.

Thu. 6/21/12 5:46am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):
BLERG! Julie, you tweeted something about this being some Kinks-related date. I want to say Ray Davies birthday (though I could be wrong, and sometimes am). I had meant to reply that you should play some stuff from the Kinks tribute that Sub Pop released around ten years ago.

For some reason I've been running across ONJ pix, maybe I should make an online shrine for Julie (et al.!) :)

BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):
I see you played a couple of songs off it though. And one by the Fastbacks. Oh how I miss them.

"Whoever it was that invented air conditioning, that person should be elevated to saint." I nominate him for drawing and quartering, based on the effect on Murrcan politics.

@FVH: You are referring to Gore Vidal's assertion that America moved from small republic to boastful empire when AC was installed in the US Capitol. Besides as I (and everyone here) knows, Washington is intolerable in the summer! Now the city operates year round.

Thu. 6/21/12 5:55am
Matt from Springfield:
Good sound of Arts and Decay, thanks for giving them another chance (I could tell it was a good song before!)

"Sloop John B"! Everybody sing it!

Thu. 6/21/12 5:56am
Jay /London:
singing now altogether now ....

Happy Solstice! Here's hoping that all of your summers turn out better and more fun than for the crew of this sloop!

@MvS Actually I was thinking the Cracker Barrel South, but yeah DC is a swamp. I spent a few years there, YECCH! It's better if we sabotage the A/C and send'em home for a couple months each summer.

Thu. 6/21/12 5:59am
Matt from Springfield:
And, as (always)...
Have a great THURSDAY, everyone! :)

Thu. 6/21/12 5:59am

Have a great week, Julie. Same for everyone else. :)

Jumping back into the past to catch up on a future that passed me up in that present. The past present. Or presently my past. That WAS the future. In black. Or something.
